Quantum physics has it that events are random and don’t need causes. “Indeterminacy” is their word. Current theories of quantum gravity hold that time does not exist.
With that in mind, the idea of creation appears as meaningless. The nature of underlying Ultimate Reality is staggeringly unknowable in terms of our human based model of matter moving through space and time.
Nothing will come of the argument—no one knows what they are arguing about.
